User Guide
The OPI 3213 operator console uses a combination of
advanced digital technology, ISDN communication principles
and distributed stored program control. This makes it the
perfect choice for an organisation that knows the value of fast
and precise information handling. The console consists of
three components:
• Visual Display Unit which displays call information
using alphanumeric characters.
• Key panel for processing calls and performing operator
tasks.
• Handset or headset.
The symbols on the Display Unit are not permanently visible, only the symbols relevant to an individual call appear.
Numerical information is provided in the call admittance,
call status and connection fields.
HOW THIS MANUAL WORKS
The initial section of the manual introduces the equipment
and familiarises you with the layout of the console.
The main body of the manual covers all the operating functions e.g. answering and extending calls.
The conventions used within this section are:
Actions appear in an alternative bold typeface and the key
diagram appears in the left hand margin opposite the text.
For example:
Press
The systems response is shown with explanatory text and, if
relevant, the display codes.
A Quick Reference Guide is incorporated into the back cover
of this manual. The guide covers the key depressions for
common operating actions and a list of call processing, special function and service key functions.
